2018 Annual General Meeting Voting Results
/in Recent Announcements /by CNAREA Executive AssistantJune 01, 2018
On Tuesday May 29, 2018 CNAREA held its Annual General Meeting, with the members voting on 3 proposed By-Law Changes, as well as holding elections for the position of President, and the Board of Directors. All the By-Law changes proposed, were accepted by the membership.
As for the election, our incumbent President, Mr. Jim Carty was nominated for the position again this year, and having received no other nominations, Jim was re-elected to another 2-year term. Congratulations Jim!
We also held elections for the 6 elected, voting positions on the Board of Directors. We received 9 nominations this year. All the sitting elected Directors: Michel Beaudoin, Brad Cable, John Carty, Stefan Epstein, Rob MacDonald and Robert Ouimet were nominated again, as well as 3 others: Mike Chekaluk, Steve Coull, and Gerhardt Klan.
As per the newly adopted By-Law with respect to the Term of Office of the Directors, the three top vote getters, John Carty, Rob MacDonald, and Stefan Epstein were elected to 2-year terms, and the next 3, Robert Ouimet, Michel Beaudoin, and Brad Cable were elected to 1-year terms.
Congratulations to all those nominated and elected. We are looking forward to an exciting year!
Marijuana plants at a subject property
/in Recent Announcements /by CNAREA Executive AssistantMarijuana Plants at a subject property:
With the upcoming legalization of growing Cannabis in homes, it is expected to see an increase in the number of properties appraisers will encounter cannabis plants. One major concern of the Association is the safety of our members, and all are cautioned to be prepared to take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of yourselves, and any employees or sub-contractors. It is recommended as before, that you carry proper PPE, and ensure that you are not exposed to hazardous materials or situations.
We do not feel that it is appropriate for our members to make determinations or declarations as to the legality of the plants, however it is appropriate and expected that members will indicate in their reports if there are Marijuana plants present. Photos should be included in your reports and be of a quality that the client may determine the number of plants present. It is also expected that the appraiser will make comments, and include appropriate photos as to the evidence of any structural modifications, damage caused by moisture, irrigation systems, ventilation etc.
Appraisers are reminded to refer to your clients’ Terms of Reference, particularly when dealing with the permission or the withholding of permission to take photos, etc. If an occupant withholds permission to take photos of the plants, or evidence of adverse influences, you must be aware of your responsibility to follow the TOR, and more importantly the USPAP requirements to gather appropriate information about the subject property to produce credible results.
Following discussions with some of the national lenders, AMC’s, other industry stakeholders, the Board of Directors has drafted an Extraordinary Assumption that may be used in your Appraisal Reports, where appropriate, when a subject property has Marijuana plants present. The statement is to be modified as needed to suit any specific situation, or property.
Extraordinary Assumption Example:
This appraisal and appraisal report are being completed under the Extraordinary Assumption that the existence of marijuana plants within the subject improvements is legal, and that all necessary measures have been taken to protect the health and safety of all occupants, as well as to protect the physical structure and integrity of the subject property improvements. Observations did not indicate any apparent issues relative to abnormal temperature variance, moisture or mold, however, those observations were based on a non-invasive viewing and the appraiser is not qualified to detect such issues or substances in any way through education or experience. The presence of such issues or substances could affect the value and/or marketability of the subject property. The client is urged to retain the services of an expert in these fields if such issues are of concern. The opinion of value reported herein is predicated on the property being free and clear of these issues and all other environmental contamination.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Rob MacDonald at 250-594-1853 or toll free 888-399-3366 Ext 2.
Proposed Bylaw Change
/in Recent Announcements /by CNAREA Executive AssistantProposed By-Law Amendment:
Our current structure of the Board of Directors has the President as serving a 2-year term, and all other elected Members on 1-year terms. This presents two issues that could pose some problems. It can be somewhat difficult for a new member of the Board to be effective in their first year, and secondly depending on the year, there may be wholesale changes to the composition of the Board. Obviously, this would make it difficult to have a smooth transition to a new Board. To help solve this issue, and provide for continued smooth transitions in years ahead, we are proposing a change to the term of office for Directors to be 2-year terms, with 3 of the Directors’ terms ending in any single year. This year (2018), all Directors’ terms end, and we will be electing 6 Directors. The proposed By-Law change will allow for 3 Directors to be elected to 2-year terms, and 3 to 1-year terms. Then in 2019, the 3 positions having 1-year terms would be up for election again, and these 3 positions would then be 2-year terms as well. Therefore, every year we will have 3 Director positions up for election. This would enable a smoother transition for new Board members, and greater continuity from year to year. With this in mind, we are proposing a change to Section 3-3 of the By-Laws.
With respect to the election of a President, By-Law Section 3-5 remains unchanged.
